SANITARY SOAP-DISK.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 8, 191W.

Application filed March 19, 1917, Serial No. 155,739.

Be it known that I, ()'l"ro (oic'rzkn, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Soap-Disks, of

which the following is a specificati-on.

This invention relates to soap disks coated and hinged together' with soap in such a manner` as to permit of their use but once for washing purposes being thereafter rendered useless.

The main object of this invention is to provide a sanitary soap package that can be made cheaply, that. is, convenient to use and when one individual use thereof is made, the disks automatically fall apart and are discarded.

` .The sanitary feature of my invention lies in the fact that when the soap coated disks are once used they immediately disengage themselves and cannot be used again.

Ay further object of my invention is to provide disks of card-board or other similarly cheap material, held together in such a manner so that when the soap coating thereon is washed off, the disks immediately disengage themselves, thereby avoiding the possibility of their being used again such as is the case in similar articles where'interl-ocking means are employed.

A further object of my invention is to provide a suicient amount of soap in convenient form for individual use in public places, thereby insuring cleanliness and sanitation and. providing against infectious germs so often present in the ordinary soap cake. A

With these objects in view the invention consists in a new and novel article of manufacture consisting of two oval or round paper disks, concaved in their inner surfaces and coated on the outer surfaces and edges v thereof with soap sufficient for one individual use.

Like numerals of reference indicate co'rresponding parts in each ligure.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the soap cake disks connected together with soap in accordance with my invention.

oval disks are provided of any convenient size and preferably made of paste-board, stiifened paper or other inexpensive material.

These disks are concaved on their inner surfaces and are beveled inwardly at their edges and fitted one over the other.

Preferably the circular concaved disks -in accordance with my invention I.are provided with roughened inner edges so that when the soap coating is smeared* on the outer surfaces and edges thereof the disks will engage closer to one another.

In the drawings 10 is a circular or Voval disk having a concaved inner central surface as shown at 11. At they inner edges of the circular or oval d isk'a raised surface 12 is provided to join with and meet a cooperating raised surface of another circular or oval disk. Ihe coperating disks 10 are then coated with the soap 13 over their entire outer surfaces. and edges, thereby holdbeveled edge seated upon a corresponding paste-board disk both of which are coated on their outer surfaces with a thin coating of soap and a lm of soap closing the edges and holding the two disks together.

surfaces and edges thereof and holding the OTTO GOETZKE. two shells together substantially as described. Witnesses: y 5 lln testimony whereof, I have signed my A. M. V1KBERG,
